First I should start by saying my goal is to build a dual tempest sub (already have the drivers) for less then the cost of a 20-39CS+, of which I already own one. With $300 left to build the enclosure I think this is reasonable. I am looking for a similar sound quality and at least equal...

I had a similar problem once. Try the CD-RW on an IDE channel by itself. The CD-RW would work by itself, but not with the other device (a dvd drive) connected to the same ide channel. Swapped cables, hard drives and disc drives with same results. It turns out the other dvd drive was...

I was in a similar position as you when I bought my projector, but there are many solutions. If you go to a fabric store you can buy black out cloth material for about $6 a yard. You will be surprised at how much light can be blocked out relatively easily. This is the easiest and cheapest...

The problem with knowing the ideal screen size for a projector is that different people like different things. Some prefer a larger image, others get eye strain from a large image. Some see screen door at a smaller size then others. The only way you'll know what you like is to set it up and see...

I have an old laptop (Pentium MMX 266), and after installing xp it works. All drivers used are the ones built into XP, and this thing is very stable. It originally had 96 mb of ram and XP installed O.K. but ran very slowly (only used for internet and light Word documents). I decided to...

Do not go by the manufacturer specs on headphones. Many $10 headphones have better specs then those. The Sennheiser HD-580 are widely regarded as one of the best headphones ever. They can be found online for under $150. They are very diffrent from the newer 570/590 models. Just as with...

TTT Now including shipping in price.

I have built a quiet pc recently with great results. The key is to replace all fans with quiet models. I have a Thermaltake SK-7 with a panaflow ultra quiet 80mm fan. Replaced the fan in my power supply with another panaflow. I also use a fanless video card. There is no fan noise audible from...

I have a small room (12x13) and recently purchased a 20-39cs+. I'm powering with a Marantz MA500 (180 watts) and use a BFD as a parametirc eq. (large cut to remove 10db peak from 70 to 45 HZ). I have it set to play 10db hot (non corrected radio shack meter), but I never play higher then 5db...

Still for sale.

No one has confirmed that they will buy it, so first confirmation will take it.

Recently bought this from another forum member. Last week decided to just get a 20-39cs+. This version has an original driver. $250 plus shipping obo.

As someone who has both Grado SR-60's and Sennheisser HD-580's, I use the 580's all the time. I rarely use the SR-60's, they are uncomfortable and are not in the same class as the 580's. Portable cd players and mp3 players can drive them to very loud levels with ease. I originally listened to...

I have the Lite-on 16x dvd drive, upgrade from an Afreey 8x unit, and must say it's a great drive. It's incredible at D/A ripping, I can burn at 24x straight from the cd with no problems with audio quality. In fact, I can "hear" that the drive isn't even running at full speed even when the cd...

I recently purchased a samsung 27" (TXK2766 model I beleive) that does 16:9 from a button on the remote. It was about $250 on sale at best buy. I happy with the set even though it's not perfect. I had to enter the service menu and make a lot of adjustments before I liked the picture. It...

The Sennheiser HD-580 was first, and the improved version of them are the HD-600's. The other 500 series of phones are based on a new design and sound very different. The 495's are said to sound very similar to the 580's. There are dozens of other models made by sennheiser, but I can't...

The HD-600 or 580's are great headphones. I own both and can say that they are both worth the cost. You can get the Hd-600's at www.meier-audio.com for under $250 shipped. They have great headphone amps there as well. If you want closed headphones, then you should research the etymotic er4...

I've had a lite on 24x for a few months, and have been completely happy with it. I've routinely burned 10-12 discs in a row at 24x (16x Imatation media) with no problems at all. If speed is a concern for you, then by all means get the 40x burner. It's not that much more expensive, but it's...

I second the Etymotic ER-4.

The absolute best headphones for airline travel are the Etymotic Research ER-4p. They are in ear phones that block outside sounds. They offer much more attentuation then ANY noise cancelling headphone, and they are widely regarded as one of the best headphones period. They cost about $270...

The Senn 580's can be purchased for under $200 shipped from various European stores. Most U.S. stores sell them for $200 new. If you can't find a refurbished model then you should try www.meier-audio.com for a good deal ($170 shipped) from a European dealer. headphone.com is a U.S. store that...

From your original post you said you wanted two pairs of headphones, one for mobile use and one for at home use. For portable use you could "get by" with a lower quality headphone for less money and spend the savings for a higher quality home set. You could try the Koss ksc-35/sporta pro/...
